Colorful Colors

Help! I am just beginning the journey that is called wedding planning. And I am already stuck! I can't seem to settle on any one idea or concept. I want our wedding to be absolutely PERFECT... although I know perfection is not attainable. One of my first decisions that I want to settle is our color scheme for the big day. Andy and I have both decided that orange will be our dominant color, but I wanted to add in more colors for a bright, fun, festive summer affair. I have scoured the internet and wedding magazines for various schemes I like. Here are a few that I can't choose between. Let me know your thoughts on them!
I LOOOOVVVVEEEE the various shades for the bridesmaid dresses in this collage. In fact, I love them so much- here they are again!
The subtle shades of orange, pink, and bronze are breathtaking. And I LOVE the groomsmen's orange ties and corsages. But I also like a more bold scheme...
A lot of friends and family have chosen this floral scheme as their favorite for a summer wedding. If I were to use this as inspiration, I would include more orange aspects than the hot pink. Here's a similar scheme...
I love the bright flowers and colors included in the bouquets and on the wedding cake. I think the brightness on the tables and chairs is a little too much for me... But I do love the brightness this collage displays! Now to something totally different...
The celery green and soft orange are beautiful in this collage. I love the hue of the bridemaid dresses. Part of me thinks the green and orange scheme is serene and picturesque, while another part of me thinks it is too soft and dull for me and Andy.

See my dilemma?! If you happen to have a preference for one of these fabulous color schemes, pllllease let me know! I need all the help I can get! :)

  2. Heather! I am just looking at this for the fist time. I absolutely love the flower burst (the close up pic of the flowers) in the first sample. The oranges and darker pink flow so well together. Have you been able to narrow it down any further yet? Let me know when you need help! Love you!
